Sigh.
You did it, Kevin. You got me. This is one song in ten thousand that I'm incapable of hearing without getting at least a little misty. And you had to choose it, didn't you?
Well done, my friend.
With moist eyes,
Luc

Kevin, that was just marvellous. I'll echo previous comments in that you didn't just play the notes, you PERFORMED the song.

*sigh* come the 29th, I have a LOT of work to do.

Hey again, Kevin. I was just listening to this again and wondering if you could, in the future, play one of the verses an octave lower on the melody side. It may mimic the lead vocal melody more accurately and create drama when the next verse goes up to where you are currently playing it. Sounds great just the way it is though, and some Stick tunings will not support the melody you are playing an octave lower conveniently. It can be more work than seems worthwhile to make a change, but might open up an area where you are not now used to playing on. Remember, we pay for the whole Stick, whether we play the whole thing or not! :lol:

Thanks again for posting. I have listened to this quite a few times already. And looking forward to hearing it again.

Mike

I think that might be a good idea Mike, lowering the melody. I'll give it a shot......
cheers from across the great sea (erie).

kev

ps
i watched storm go over Erie this past summer, thing is I was up here in Brantford, 100 kms straight north. The top of that storm must have been 50k feet or so for me to see it from here. I knew it was over Erie because I watched it simultaneously on the intellicast radar site......anyway, just a crazy weather observation I thought id share with you.....

Just listening to as much Stick music as I can and I went back and listened to this again...this is so well executed! Great choice of tune, great sound. From now on when people ask why anyone would want to play the Beatles on the Stick, I'll just send them to this video and say "because you can do this". =)
